Jean Mansel (born c. 1400–1401, died c. 1473–1474) was a functionary at the court of the Duchy of Burgundy and a historian.
Jean Mansel was born in Hesdin, and entered the service of the Dukes of Burgundy, at whose court his father had also worked.
In August the same year he was relieved of his duties by Charles the Bold on account of his old age and frail state.
The Fleur des histoires is a summary world history which exists in several versions and spans from Genesis to the death of Charles VI of France.
Several copies of the Fleur des histoires were made as costly illuminated manuscripts, and the historical account it presents can be interpreted as a propagandistic attempt to glorify and strengthen the legitimacy of the Dukes of Burgundy.
